Thomas Nagel.

Jamestown Police, the Stutsman County Sheriff's Office and the North Dakota Highway Patrol chased the suspects onto I-94 eastbound where Barnes County Sheriff's Deputies picked up the chase in Barnes County.

The suspect changed direction near the Eckelson exit then turned north on Barnes County Road 7 and continued north through Eckelson on a gravel road where the driver was able to put some distance between himself and law enforcement, according to Barnes County Sheriff's Deputy Dan Anderson.

Deputies searching for the vehicle were alerted by a person hunting geese in the area. The suspects' vehicle was stuck in a slough and the suspects fled on foot. They were captured by Barnes County Sheriff's Deputies.

The pair face charges for the robbery and weapons charges after law enforcement recovered two handguns from the vehicle, said Nagel. The pair also face numerous charges from various agencies.

The adult male is held in the Stutsman County Jail while the juvenile is held in the Cass County Jail.
